Hi group,

I'm having a problem with my Exim configuration: all connections to
the daemon are dropped immediately. I've tried from the localhost, and
from an external IP address. No message is printed to the socket, and
no message is printed to the log. The connection is definitely
successfully made, according to tcpdump. I _can_ stay connected to
other services running on this box. iptables is not running.

I'm using exim 4.68 on Gentoo Linux, compiled with the X, ipv6, mysql,
pam, perl, ssl and tcpd USE flags. I've only just installed it, so
there is no previous working exim configuration.

Following is a list of all the files I imagine are likely to be
relevant to figuring out what's wrong.

My exim.conf is

currently empty and was created with:
